Baum, Voris and Rosica....(All walk into a bar,..)

Sounds like the beginning of a joke,..So much news in
Catholic circles has been given to Fr Thomas Rosica (Salt and Light) and his
recent interview with pseudo ‘theologian’/modernist heretic Gregory Baum, that
yes,..I have decided to weigh into this debate and give my two cents. It seems that certain ‘so-called’
traditionalists think I’ve abandoned ship because I dared criticize their
little poster boy with the funky hair, Michael Voris. Well newsflash!!!! I have never critiqued the content of Voris,
however I do critique his approach at times especially on the Vortex, which is
offered for free, and at times is the only tool some people watch to fuel their
anger at the lack of leadership of the hierarchy. Sometimes I think Voris has a giant
Teletraan-1 computer with satelites (gratuitous Transformers reference) at his
headquarters which allows him pinpoint every abuse and heresy from around the
world.

So to calm the masses, I am dead set against Fr Rosica
inviting Baum on Salt and Light’s ‘Witness.’
I don’t know what he was thinking, inviting an excommunicated ex-priest
onto the show, to celebrate Vatican II(more like the ‘spirit/poltergeist’ of
VII as Vatican II is to be read within the hermeneutic of continuity) As Catholics we have enough trouble trying to
figure out our own identity that we don’t need theological spin doctors who
espouse everything from so-called gay ‘marriage,’ pro-choice and every other
goofy proposition, not to mention intrinsic evil,.. that had NOTHING to do with
Vatican II. We can argue that Professor
Baum desires the ‘good’ of the Church, but that is ultimately a non issue. We do not need Baum’s brainwashing nonsense
penetrating Catholics at a time when the Reform of the Reform is well underway.

At the same time, (Traditionalists hold your breath,..) I
was also against Fr Rosica interviewing Bishop Fellay of the SSPX. The reasons are pretty much the same. We do not need Fellay, (Still in schism)
confusing Catholics as well. The SSPX,
despite probably good intentions by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre as well as
Fellay, are in an ‘irregular’ communion.
Obediance is a virtue, and usually sets out the roadmap to a person’s
holiness. Examples of Padre Pio, and Sr
Lucy of Fatima come to mind, they were silenced and they obeyed.

To conclude, I am and remain a loyal son of the Magisterium,
nothing changes. I follow Jesus, not
Voris, Baum, Corapi, Rosica or any other personality or outlet. I am against Salt and Light interviewing
people outside the Church, when it concerns matters of the Church. Whether they be excommunicated or in schism,
for whatever reason. I do not know Fr
Rosica’s intentions, perhaps he has to answer to investors? Maybe he's starved for ratings? (my opinion,..) Remember he has to shepherd souls, and we are
not in his position. As for Michael
Voris? I like him, I have met him, I
think the Church needs him. My own
experience however, is that one can pinpoint problems, that’s fine. However we need to find solutions,…that’s the
tricky part. Our Lady gave us a way
through the Rosary, fasting and prayer.

***On a final note, I will congratulate the President of the
United States who was elected Tuesday night for a second term. Obviously my readership knows my views. I will ask for prayers, for the conversion of
the heart of Barrack Obama, so that he may realize his views on abortion are
simply demonic. As well for a change of
his heart regarding religious freedom,..The stage is set for the Catholic
Church to undergo persecution, and the cause?
‘Luke warm’ catholics. Cardinal
Francis George of Chicago’s words keep ringing in my head, especially in light
of potentially becoming a priest,.to paraphrase, -‘ I will probably die in a
bed, my successor probably in a jail cell, and his successor will be killed.***
